Exhibition opening: “good home” [There is enough space for us]

Posted on by apkunstart

Soft, warm, familiar. It smells like bread. Own. But home also occurs while traveling, so it can be unstable. Home also endures during war, although it is not necessarily still safe. After all, home is also the Earth, even though we destroy it with our own hands. So is home always the most important thing? What does a “best livable” city mean? Or maybe “home” is simply a universe of the most important meanings?

After “bad home” and a series of podcasts, we invite you to the second exhibition as part of the “We Enough Space” (Miejsca nam wystarczy) project.

Artists:

Melanie Hollaus, Anna Wańtuch, Beata Malinowska-Petelenz, Artem Humilevskyi, Wisz Orłowski, Anna Rzyczniak, Sebastian Ożóg, Piotr Kogut, Franciszek Araszkiewicz

Media: photography, video, sound art

The project is being implemented with funds from the Poland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan – KPO for culture.

Exhibition opening: “bad home” [There is enough space for us]

Posted on by apkunstart

Is “home the cube of childhood | a house is a cube of emotion” (Zbigniew Herbert) or maybe “A house is not walls at all | and ceilings and floors” (Anna Kamieńska)?

A home, apart from its soul, also has a body. Physically, the home is there – or missing. It is messy or clean. Home can strengthen and home can tire. We live in specific places, spaces and contexts that cannot be erased. Home emotions can be tormenting, but also bad access, lack of greenery or neighbors. How do we live and what does it mean? Why do we call some spaces “bad”? How does space affect the psyche and is a Polish house different from others?

We cordially invite you to the international exhibition “Bad home” (zły dom) as part of the “We Enough Space” (Miejsca nam wystarczy) project.

Artists: Josef Ka, Mariusz Twardowski, Natalia Kepesz, Marcin Petelenz, Maciej Skaza, Vlad Nikorcuk, Magdalena Milert, Sebastian Ożóg, Franciszek Araszkiewicz

Media: photography, video, sound art

The project is being implemented with funds from the Poland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan – KPO for culture.

There is enough space for us – a KPO for culture project

Posted on by apkunstart

We are happy to announce that our foundation will execute a project as part of the Poland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan – KPO for culture titled “There is enough space for us (Miejsca nam wystarczy) – art exhibitions and a podcast with transcription”. This is a project dealing with the issue of physical and social neighborhood in Polish cities and small towns. How do we live and what does it mean? Why do we feel better in some places and how to improve others? The project will include two art exhibitions (stationary at the Momentum Gallery in Krakow) and a series of podcasts with transcription (online, published on spotify, YouTube, niemuzeum.pl) discussing conversations with experts: architects, sociologists, psychologists, artists. The aim of the project is cooperation and flow of knowledge and competences between the sector of artists, architects and space practitioners.

We cordially invite you to follow and participate!

Futuristic nostalgia – open call

Posted on by apkunstart

Futuristic nostalgia

You know it’s not the same as it was. And it never will again. Something’s coming. The change. Another shift in your life. New mornings, new rythms, no ideas to rely on.

Make space for the new you while digging into no longer existing spaces. We say good old days even when those were not that good. Maybe we were young, maybe things were different. Maybe there was Glitter in the sky, glitter my eyes or maybe – we were just too afraid to face the upcoming. Olden days, board games, chewing gums – childhood memories and tricky worlds that we used to believe in. And then – your kids that grew up. Buildings that are thorn down. City you no longer recognize. Your old desk and dreams that never came to life. Future that you paint with memories. Face the future, check what’s coming, use your nostalgia muscles to operate on unknown.

We’re looking for works related to nostalgia mindset, melancholic cityscapes that no longer exist, old regimes and futuristic nostalgia. We do not look for answers, we’re looking for poetic statements from different parts of the world.

Art foundation AP KunstArt Fund is calling for entries for our upcoming exhibition in Momentum Gallery, Krakow. We’re looking for:

– video arts (up to 6mins)

Poetic Republic of Krakow

Posted on by apkunstart 
We are proud to take part in the "Poetic Republic of Krakow" campaign of the Krakow Festival Office, which promotes poetic culture growing out of Krakow as a model of Polish culture. On the streets of Krakow, from 1.07 to 16.07, an exhibition of portraits of the most important poets and poets from Krakow is being carried out. Tetmajer, Kora, Czycz i Boy and Świrszczyńska. And Szymborska. Milosz. Zagajewski. Where to write poetry if not in Krakow?

The author of the series of portraits is Beata Malinowska-Petelenz - painter, book illustrator, architect, professor at the Cracow University of Technology. Author and participant of several dozen exhibitions in Poland and abroad.

"Poetic Republic of Krakow" is a project of the monthly magazine "Kraków i Świat", supported by the Krakow Festival Office.

We encourage and invite you to walk in the footsteps of Krakow's poets!
